STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH INFO RE: MEDICARE & MEDICADE

[Guest guest]

I worked for the Welfare Department for 9 Years before I left on

disability.

I have been reading the posts regarding Medicare & Medicaid(Welfare)

Medicare is Federal insurance, I just phoned them to make sure that I

was saying things correctly. The Rules for Medicare are the same in

every state in the United States. Medicare is available for people who

have been on Federal Diaability Social Security for 2 Years, on the

25th month you are eligible for Medicare

Now if you want to apply for Federal Disability you must be out of work

for 6 complete months. If you go on sick leave and are off for 3

months and you decide to go back to work for 1 hour and you realizze

that you just can't keep up with the pace of the job and then leave

work and go home. Because you went to work for that ONE HOUR the six

month clock starts again the day after you wnet to work for that hour.

Now when you have been approved for disability there is a program that

lets you try to work again.

When you are approved for Medicaid or Welfare the rules are different

in many states. Welfare is splint into 2 programs Federa; amd States

funds. Each state has an intake/application that one fills out. You

fill inthe blankz and do the math and will know if you are eligible for

state only or state and federal money and also food stamps.

That's it in a nutshell. tomorrow if I am up to it I will explain

about SSI-social security income for those uner 65, And Federa; Social

Security.

Also the Indy Retreat is now finished. We are awaiting to spealk to

Marla's son. Bob had an idea of posting it in the Archives, then folks

wocould just go there and download the talks and listen to them.

Another idea is to put it on a DVD ande people can put it into their

coimputer and choose which talk they wanted to here at thiet leiaure.

We don't want to make any money on this, just the cost of the CD or DVD

and postage and envelope cost. How many people are interested in

getting one of the discs if we are not able to down load it to the

archives.

I'm exausted
